Trump signs border deal, averting shutdown
I got to say, Nancy Pelosi did really well to keep the Democrats firm. Hopefully, this shows the naysayers that she deserves her position as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The USA government shutdown situation is over, for now. Also, President Donald Trump has announced a national emergency to get the border funding he so desires. Such a move is hitting a lot of opposition from many sides.President Trump on Friday signed a spending package to avert another government shutdown, his top spokeswoman said.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Trump approved the measure on Friday afternoon in the executive mansion. Reporters were not on hand to witness the bill signing.
The move came hours after Trump announced during a freewheeling, 50-minute news conference that he is declaring a national emergency to bypass Congress and obtain $8 billion for his long-desired border wall, a move that triggered a major legal showdown with Democrats.
